Key Characteristics

Core Ingredients

Black Tea:
The backbone of this blend, black tea provides a full bodied base with a smooth, slightly malty character. Its natural depth and gentle astringency balance the sweetness of the fruit while creating a rich, satisfying cup.

Lychee Essence:
Lychee brings a juicy, honeyed fruitiness to the blend. Known for its fragrant tropical flavor, often described as a cross between grape, pear, and rose, lychee adds natural sweetness and a refreshing brightness that defines the tea’s signature taste.

Rose Undertones:
Subtle floral notes reminiscent of rose petals enhance the lychee’s natural aroma. This delicate floral accent adds elegance and complexity, rounding out the fruitiness with a soft finish.

The dominant note is the lush, tropical sweetness of lychee, bright and fragrant. It brings a refreshing, juicy quality that makes the tea feel lively and aromatic.

Subtly Sweet:
Naturally smooth and gently sweet, this blend delivers a soft sweetness without the need for added sugar. The lychee flavor enhances the tea’s natural richness while keeping the cup light and balanced.
